I am not aware of et goals, etc. Just a musclecar engine. He has a 68 Bee, with a 727.

I understand the personalities of each engine will be very different.



I think it depends on your (his goals) My 01 Lighting is twin turbo, it sucks on the street, once it winds up I have to lay on the brakes. My Demon is Fun better all round street car , it's all power all the time.......but Imyself get my biggest kick out of the 2010 Challenger with the stroked 5.7 , it's great daily, not bad on fuel . just enough push back in the seat but not enough to have to panic stop all the time.
All out track car.....Turbo is the way to go unless you have to have that top Fuel look......but nothing says King of the street like a blown Hemi..
